Sorry hun, this has never happened to me! I know a few people who have had some bleeding and everything has been fine but prob still best to give your MW or doc a call. They will be the best people to put your mind at rest! xx

hi hun

I experienced something like this during my last pregnancy, but nearer the end. My midwife told me that sometimes you get small bumps inside your cervix when pregnant, and when you have sex they get agitated, and can bleed. They are nothing to worry about, just one of those things. If you are worried though, trust your insticts and get it checked out. Best of luck XXX

if you phoned your mw they wouldn't hold it against you if you just wanted to check if all was fine

when are you due for your scan? i know in my area there is an early pregnancy unit and they do scans for anyone worried about whats going on (and you still have your dating scan, they just make sure everything is ok with baby) x

It could be cervical erosion or something more scary, go and get checked out, wait for them to ask if you had sex.

This happened with my first child, i had 3 bleeds in totally and each after sex, went to see gp on the 3 times and he said it had stopped and all was ok but he did say if it happened again head straight to hospital and give me a letter for the hospital, now i don't want to freak you out but the day after my third bleed i went into labour that was at 26 weeks, now i know sometimes the bleeding doesn't mean anything to serious but if i were you i'd get it cheeked out just to be on the safe side.

thanks for all of the advice everyone, i will deffo ring my midwife first thing in the morning if i'm still bleeding, hearing other people saying the same thing and then having a healthy baby has put my mind at ease a little, i will you know what she says!! xxx

It could be a condition called cervical erosion - this causes bleeding after sex in pregnancy, but does not lead to miscarraige - its something to do with the cells of the cervix being damaged or rubbed off - but it is harmless. Not had it myself but read a lot about it. Maybe try looking up "Cervical Erosion" and see what it says.

As you said it started after sex I would bet that thats what it is. But its worth getting it check out as soon as possible - even if just to put your mind at rest.

Does your hospital/birth centre have a 24 hour number you can ring? Or maybe try NHS Direct (they'll probably just tell you to go to A & E though! They say that no matter what your concern is!)
